Scolari Resigns As Brazil's Coach

Brazil is in search for a new national soccer coach. Multiple reports say Luiz Felipe Scolari resigned as the coach following a disappointing result in the World Cup. The host national finished fourth after getting stomped by Germany 7-1 in the semifinals and 3-0 by the Netherlands in the third-place match. He previously guided Brazil to a win over Germany in the 2002 World Cup final.
